    Programmer Required

    The first issue is the STA architecture of Excel. That limits it's ability to multitask efficiently. However, for small sets of symbols, it can do the job if properly designed.

    Dow TOP call - 10yr top formation done

    Money is flooding the market from all over. Japan going crazy producing Yen. All of this money will be on the sidelines looking for a place to go....and that would be equities, not bonds, not commodities which are way overpriced. Shorts beware. We'll need some sort of crisis to precipitate...

    Condor Credit Spreads: Most common misconceptions, mistakes, lessons

    This is all so clearly evident when reviewing the performance of hedge funds on hedgefund.net. Those funds employing these strategies show fairly consistent positive results from month-to-month...but then you'll see these horrific 1 month performances. You know they got "blasted" that month with...

    Anybody using TT API?

    Keep in mind guys, using the TT API requires a license to the Pro edition of the platform at most major brokerages. No one is including that for free.

    All of Europe to protest austerity measures

    Exactly. Those slackers in Europe were covered by the real estate bubble. Now those people are "exposed". Now comes the aftermath....social unrest, rioting, looting, etc. It's gonna get really ugly over there. Could this happen to the USA ? YOU BET.

    Which phase are we in right now for equities ?

    Thanks for some validation Poy. I think we are way beyond the great "Recession"...especially when I read these stories: Midnight Shoppers “You need not go farther than one of our stores on midnight at the end of the month,” Simon said. “About 11 p.m. customers start to come in and shop...

    Weekly results of a wanna B algo trader

    The market is going up, your performance is going down. That indicates possibly a short bias for your trading strategies/approach. This isn't rocket science you know, especially with the timeframes you are dealing with. This "quant" stuff only gets hairy when dealing with "gaming" the market...

    Been to JAIL yet ?

    Well, I got "even" once and let me tell you...although it was scarey at first (I almost got arrested), it was so satisfying in the end. An employment agency manager was pulling my chain, then pulled a dirty trick on me. I got back at him (can't tell you exactly how), but it made him look so...
